The soon-to-be law is anti-woman because it places squarely upon her shoulders the burden of birth control, with all the attendant physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual side effects. Husbands, fathers and sexual partners are mere spectators in this game of thorns – and the louder they doth proclaim to uphold women’s reproductive wellbeing, the farther they stay away from the encumbrances of responsible parenthood.
'An experience of well over forty years, says a physician writing in the British Medical Review, convinces me that the artificial limitation of the family causes damage to a woman's nervous system, and in generally poor health.'
'More good would come to our country through tongue control rather than birth control.' - Dr. Charles H. Mayo

And in this country, everyone speaks in strange tongues. Controlling the body’s strongest muscle entails sacrifice – which is a hard thing to do – and only a few are inclined to exercise restraint and abstinence.
So, now – after all is said and done, after all the discordant hue and cry about limiting human reproduction, after the last nail on the coffin is struck – I am going out on a limb to say that the RH Bill is ANTI-WOMAN. No shades of grey about it – fifty, sixty or a hundred different strokes for a hundred million different folks woefully ill-informed and acquiescent to the dictates of power.

Husbands, fathers and sexual partners are mere spectators in this game of thorns – and the louder they doth proclaim to uphold women’s reproductive wellbeing, the farther they stay away from the encumbrances of responsible parenthood. Who’s the stronger gender, anyway? Women power is not just another motherhood statement. We get stuck with the dirty job, every single effing day.
Thus, bring in the condoms already, lawmakers and business peeps. Teach 10-year-old kids how to use them now so that after a generation or two, the streets are rid of vagrant urchins and garbage scavengers. Shanties and riverbanks settlers would have disappeared from the urban landscape and the aging population is wallowing in meaningless wealth. Contraception, indeed, is the solution to poverty. In a disparate universe, maybe; or in one’s stubborn hallucinations.
